DKW Lomos-Sesselrad 170 cc

The 1925 DKWLomos-Sesselrad 170 cc, a slightly larger variant of its stablemate, features a 169.6cc engine. While specific performance figures aren't provided, the increase in displacement would likely translate to a modest bump in power and torque compared to the 142.5cc version. This could mean slightly improved acceleration and the ability to handle small inclines with greater ease. Like its smaller sibling, the ergonomics would likely be upright and comfortable, designed for practicality rather than sporty riding. The front drum brake remains the sole stopping force, emphasizing the need for careful speed management. The target rider would likely be someone seeking a slightly more capable version of the basic DKWLomos-Sesselrad, perhaps for slightly longer journeys or carrying light loads. This model represents a marginal step up in performance within the DKWLomos-Sesselrad range, offering a subtle improvement in engine capacity for riders who needed just a little extra power. It would still retain the charm and simplicity of its era, appealing to enthusiasts of early motorcycle design.
